STEM Education

As we face a global workforce crisis, we need more students following a STEM path today so they can be the problem solvers of tomorrow. To inspire students, we focus on a strong educational foundation, especially for young women, and underrepresented groups.

University Partnership Program

We established our University Partnership Program (UPP) in 1998, to continue the growth of a healthy talent pipeline for ourselves, our partners, and our customers. This program builds relationships between our company, top-tier engineering universities, and our industry while it continues to expose students to innovative automation and smart manufacturing.

New STEM Spaces Foster Equity and Access

To create a new educational and recreational space designed to increase access to STEM opportunities and resources for all students, we made a $350,000 contribution to sponsor the Rockwell Automation FIRST Robotics Development Zone at the new MSOE (Milwaukee School of Engineering) We Energies STEM Center. This space includes a 1,500-square-foot playing field where teams have ample room to test designs and practice for competitions. Additionally, we donated $400,000 to the Boys and Girls Clubs to open three new spaces at the Don & Sallie Davis Club on Milwaukee’s southside: a Makerspace/hybrid classroom providing hands-on experience in all aspects of STEM; a digital recreation “games” room rooted in STEM learning, and a renovated “Big Pals Room” filled with innovative STEM-based games and learning activities to inspire off-screen imaginative play and creativity. Our Chairman and CEO, Blake Moret, proudly serves on the BGCGM Board of Trustees.

Aaliyah Brown: From High School Intern to Process Engineer

By the time Aaliyah Brown was 10 years-old, she knew she wanted to be an engineer. She saw engineers described as people who can make things work and make things better and she was hooked.

Aaliyah first joined Rockwell Automation as a summer intern in 2011 while she attended Cleveland’s MC2 STEM High School. In 2019, following her graduation from Cleveland State University with a bachelor’s of science degree in electronic engineering technology, we hired her as a process engineer.

In addition to her day job, Aaliyah founded the nonprofit Build Sessions CLE, giving Cleveland-area students heading to college something she didn’t have -- a community of engineers who look like them, who could relate to the experience, and offer support.

“As long as we lack women and minorities in science and engineering, I am on a mission to make a way for them,” said Aaliyah. “I will make the space, I will encourage young minds to chase after the possibilities and see themselves as people who can pursue technical careers.”
